Volunteers are needed for the second Sunday meal at St Paul's UMC, Market Street.  Do you have to bring anything or contribute money?  No! Your TIME to talk to those in attendance is what is needed.  Be there at 4 pm.

A big Thank you to everyone who donated items for Undie Sunday.  We had a huge amount of underwear and diapers.    Thank you congregation!!

Operation Christmas Child 
You are invited to participate in Operation Christmas Child and do your own individual girl or boy box. However, we are also having a packing party on November 9th at 4:00. There is an information and donation board set up in the gathering space. The item and quantity needed will be on a slip of paper. A website is included as a suggestion only. We accept donations if you would prefer, to help offset costs. We hope you will join us on November 9th! 

 
Thanksgiving’s Just Around the Corner!
Hard to believe it’s nearly turkey time already! Just a little reminder that our Thanksgiving Dinner will be Sunday, November 23rd at 5:30 PM. We’ll have plenty of good food, warm company, and a heap of gratitude to go around. 
Go on and mark your calendars (or stick a note on the fridge) — it’s gonna be a sweet evening of fellowship and full bellies
